Here&#8217;s a bit of my response that may be of more general interest:<\/p>\n<p>First, membership in professional societies can provide some access to digital sources. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarweb.org\/jstor-religion-collection\">AAR provides access to journals via JSTOR<\/a>. For a limited time AAR membership also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarweb.org\/bloomsbury-collections\">allows access to Bloomsbury\/T&amp;T Clark volumes<\/a>. Membership in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsa.org\/page\/EEBOTandC\/Early-English-Books-Online-database-EEBO-Terms-and-Conditions--Permitt.htm\">Renaissance Society of America allows access to EEBO<\/a>. Obviously the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prdl.org\">Post-Reformation Digital Library<\/a>\u00a0was conceived in part to address the need for digital access to primary source material. Many of these societies have reduced rates for student membership.<\/p>\n<p>Second, you can register for limited access to some databases for free. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/about.jstor.org\/get-jstor\/\">registering with JSTOR<\/a> allows a certain number of free downloads and access to some content across the site. Similar programs are likely to be found with other databases and aggregators.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.1.1 | http:\/\/www.active-bits.nl\/support\/social-sharing-toolkit\/ --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><fb:share-button type=\"button_count\" href=\"https:\/\/www.juniusinstitute.org\/blog\/accessing-digital-sources\/\"><\/fb:share-button><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.juniusinstitute.org\/blog\/accessing-digital-sources\/\" data-via=\"JuniusInstitute\" data-text=\"Accessing digital sources\">Tweet<\/a><\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.1.1 | http:\/\/www.active-bits.nl\/support\/social-sharing-toolkit\/ --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><fb:share-button type=\"button_count\" href=\"https:\/\/www.juniusinstitute.org\/blog\/accessing-digital-sources\/\"><\/fb:share-button><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.juniusinstitute.org\/blog\/accessing-digital-sources\/\" data-via=\"JuniusInstitute\" data-text=\"Accessing digital sources\">Tweet<\/a><\/span><\/div><p>TweetWe recently received a query about accessing digital sources internationally.
